RCMP allege that on April 13, 2018, an officer responded to a 9-1-1 call from a home in Granum. After checking to make sure that the resident of the home was ok, a verbal and physical exchange between the two allegedly took place, and the resident was allegedly pushed and punched.

The matter was later investigated by Pincher Creek RCMP, who later charged Heystek.

He has been reassigned to an administrative roll pending the outcome of the trial.
